Home for Wounded Soldiers. MOVEMENT STARTED IN BRISBANE.

A meeting of women delegates from the different Comforts’ Funds in Brisbane met some months ago at the invitation of the Returned Soldiers’ and Patriots’ National Political League, to establish a home for returned soldiers who are cripples or nervous wrecks. Several difficulties arose, however, in the starting of a complete new fund, and the matter has since been taken up by the Red Cross Society. It has been decided by the members to establish two homes for returned wounded soldiers. One for advanced consumptives and the other for men who are physically incapable of earning their living. The movement is as yet in its infancy, but when the Red Cross Society have taken the matter in hand there is every reason to have full confidence in the homes being established. They will be of inestimable benefit to men made physical wrecks through the horrors of war; and doubtless, it is only a matter of bringing the fact before the public to receive support from all parts of the community.
